Amanda Gorman, a 22-year-old poet, recited her poem The Hill We Climb at the recent. Presidential Inauguration (就职) Ceremony. Her words and performance were wonderful and were admired across the world. But what is even more wonderful is the story of how Amanda arrived at this moment and the lessons she offers other kids around the world.
Amanda was raised by a single mother, Joan Wicks, in Los Angeles. There was very limited television watching in their house. Encouraged by her mother, who was a teacher, Amanda fell in love with reading and writing. She gained confidence in these areas. Her passion for poetry started when she was about 8 years old.
But despite her interests and talents, she had some obstacles. Amanda has a listening processing disorder and is very sensitive to sound. She also had a speech disorder during childhood. This caused her to participate in speech treatment which helped her to turn her obstacles into gifts and strengths. As she told The Harvard Gazette in 2018, “I always saw it as a strength because since I was experiencing these obstacles in terms of my listening and speech skills, I became really good at reading and writing.”
Amanda started to dream of becoming president when she was in 6th grade. As Amanda became more confident, she became more driven to transform the world for good. She went on to earn a degree at Harvard University. And then, Amanda became the world’s first Youth Poet’ Laureate (获奖者) in history!
While Amanda looked calm, cool, and collected at the inauguration, she admits she is always nervous, like many of us, about public speaking. To ease this, she developed a spell that she recites to give herself confidence in moments of doubt, “I am the daughter of black writers. We are descendants of freedom fighters who broke through chains and changed the world.”

A team of scientists is studying the sound of the forest in Ecuador to learn how artificial intelligence (AI) could follow animal life in recovering environments.
When scientists want to measure new forest growth, they can study large areas of land with tools like satellites. But understanding how fast and in what number wildlife is returning to an area is more difficult. Sometimes it requires an expert to listen through sound recordings and pick out animal calls.
Jorg Muller, an expert on birds, wondered if there was a different way. So, he turned to bioacoustics (生物声学), which uses sound to learn more about animal life and their living environments. Muller and his team recorded wildlife sounds in Ecuador. They first had experts listen to the recordings and list the sounds of different animals. Then, they examined the sound quality to measure the environment. Finally, they ran two weeks of recordings through an AI computer program trained to understand 75 different bird calls.
The program was able to pick out the calls on which it was trained. However, scientists wondered if the program could correctly identify the number of different kinds of plants and animals in each environment. To see if the program could do that, the team used two different controls. One was from the experts who listened to the recordings, and the second was based on examples from each environment, which can be used to understand biodiversity (生物多样性).
Since the number of sounds that are found to be used to train is limited, the AI program could only identify one-fourth of the bird calls experts could. But it was still able to correctly measure biodiversity levels in each environment, the study said. It also said the results show the AI program is a powerful tool to measure the recovery of animal societies in some forests. The study showed that biodiversity found from recordings can be measured in a cost-effective and complete way and measure environments.
There are still areas for improvement, including the lack of animal sounds on which to train AI models. And the method can only catch animals that use sound to communicate.
8. What does the study focus on
A. Studying plant growth. B. Observing birds’ behavior.
C. Understanding AI’s effect on wildlife. D. Measuring wildlife recovery.
9. What method did the team use to learn wildlife sounds in Eduador
A. Bioacoustics. B. Satellite recording.
C. Sound recording by AI. D. Direct observation by experts.
10. What did the AI program prove to be useful for
A Identifying plant species. B. Tracking weather change.
C. Measuring biodiversity levels. D. Identifying all the bird calls.
11. What did the study suggest for improvements
A. Measuring more bird environments.
B. Catching animals that use sound to communicate.
C. Training the program on a wider variety of sounds.
D. Having experts study more and understand bird calls.
D
Music is a part of every culture around the world. In fact, the ability to appreciate music is built into our brains. Music makes us feel good. Many music studies look at the long-term benefits of being a music listener or participating in a music program as a child. But can listening to music help us connect and empathize (产生共鸣) with someone right at the moment A new study aims to find it out.
In this study, 60 university students were asked to watch several 15-second videos in which a person describes an autobiographical (自传体的) experience. In some cases, people in the video talk about a relatively ordinary event, like moving into a new apartment, while other stories contain strong emotional content, like recalling a terrible accident or a loved one’s death.
While students watched these videos, the researchers randomly played either “emotionally neutral (中立的)” music or very sad music in the background. After watching each video, the students expressed how much sympathy they had for the person in the video, and how much they wanted to help that person. They were also tested on their social reasoning skills—how well they understood the person’s thinking method in the video. All of these could be signs of empathic connection (同感沟通).
Results showed that people watching the sad videos felt more sadness themselves and more sympathy for the other person than those watching the neutral videos—not a big surprise. But these empathic feelings were strengthened by listening to sad music. The music had no effect, however, on whether or not the students could reason out the other person’s experience and understand what they might be thinking or feeling.
While music is not the only way — other art forms, like fiction and dancing, have also been shown to increase empathy, for example—music could be a powerful tool. “It’d be very interesting to extend our finding further, to see if listening to music in a social context can improve our real-world ability to empathize with and feel sympathy for others in the long term,” says the lead researcher Brennan McDonald.
12. What does the new study want to find out
A. Whether music can benefit us.
B. Whether music can arouse genuine emotions.
C. Whether music can improve the social effect.
D. Whether music programs can increase our confidence.
13. What were the participants required to do during the study
A. To film a short autobiographical video.
B To share one of their miserable experiences.
C. To think up ways to help the person in need.
D. To watch videos while listening to different background music.
14. Which of the following belongs to the opinion of the researchers
A. We can increase our sympathy by using some music.
B. Music helps us understand others’ thinking processes.
C. Most adults are much more emotional than children.
D. Music can influence us both emotionally and intellectually.
15. What will the researcher Brennan probably do next
A. Study different types of music.
B. Test the long-term effect of music on people.
C. Find more ways to make people more caring.
D. Compare the effect of music with that of other art forms.

Music is a part of every culture around the world. In fact, the ability to appreciate music is built into our brains. Music makes us feel good. Many music studies look at the long-term benefits of being a music listener or participating in a music program as a child. But can listening to music help us connect and empathize (产生共鸣) with someone right at the moment A new study aims to find it out.
In this study, 60 university students were asked to watch several 15-second videos in which a person describes an autobiographical (自传体的) experience. In some cases, people in the video talk about a relatively ordinary event, like moving into a new apartment, while other stories contain strong emotional content, like recalling a terrible accident or a loved one’s death.
While students watched these videos, the researchers randomly played either “emotionally neutral (中立的)” music or very sad music in the background. After watching each video, the students expressed how much sympathy they had for the person in the video, and how much they wanted to help that person. They were also tested on their social reasoning skills—how well they understood the person’s thinking method in the video. All of these could be signs of empathic connection (同感沟通).
Results showed that people watching the sad videos felt more sadness themselves and more sympathy for the other person than those watching the neutral videos—not a big surprise. But these empathic feelings were strengthened by listening to sad music. The music had no effect, however, on whether or not the students could reason out the other person’s experience and understand what they might be thinking or feeling.
While music is not the only way — other art forms, like fiction and dancing, have also been shown to increase empathy, for example—music could be a powerful tool. “It’d be very interesting to extend our finding further, to see if listening to music in a social context can improve our real-world ability to empathize with and feel sympathy for others in the long term,” says the lead researcher Brennan McDonald.
12. What does the new study want to find out
A. Whether music can benefit us.
B. Whether music can arouse genuine emotions.
C. Whether music can improve the social effect.
D. Whether music programs can increase our confidence.
13. What were the participants required to do during the study
A. To film a short autobiographical video.
B. To share one of their miserable experiences.
C. To think up ways to help the person in need.
D. To watch videos while listening to different background music.
14. Which of the following belongs to the opinion of the researchers
A. We can increase our sympathy by using some music.
B. Music helps us understand others’ thinking processes.
C. Most adults are much more emotional than children.
D. Music can influence us both emotionally and intellectually.
15 What will the researcher Brennan probably do next
A. Study different types of music.
B. Test the long-term effect of music on people.
C. Find more ways to make people more caring.
D. Compare the effect of music with that of other art forms.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。音乐是全世界文化的一部分，那么听音乐能否帮助我们与此刻的某个人产生共情能力呢？一项新的研究试图去弄清楚这一点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But can listening to music help us connect and empathize with someone right at the moment A new study aimed to find it out.(但听音乐能帮助我们在当下与某人建立联系并产生共鸣吗 一项新的研究旨在找出答案)”可知新的研究是想弄清楚音乐是否能提升社会效应。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While students watched these videos, the researchers randomly played either “emotionally neutral” music or very sad music in the background(当学生们观看这些视频时，研究人员随机播放“情绪中性”的音乐或非常悲伤的背景音乐)”可知，参与者在研究过程中被要求边听不同的背景音乐边看视频。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“While music is not the only way — other art forms, like fiction and dancing, have also been shown to increase empathy, for example—music could be a powerful tool.(虽然音乐不是唯一的方式，其他艺术形式，如小说和舞蹈，也被证明可以增加同理心，但音乐可能是一个强大的工具)”可推知，我们可以使用某些音乐来增加我们的共情能力。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““It’d be very interesting to extend our finding further, to see if listening to music in a social context can improve our real-world ability to empathize with and feel sympathy for others in the long term,” says the lead researcher Brennan McDonald.(首席研究员布伦南·麦克唐纳说：“进一步扩展我们的发现将非常有趣，看看在社交环境中听音乐是否能长期提高我们在现实世界中对他人产生共鸣和同情的能力。”)”可知，研究人员布伦南接下来可能会测试音乐对人的长期影响。故选B项。

56. 要记住，你的个人信息一定要保密。（keep in mind, keep……private）（汉译英）
【答案】Keep in mind that you must keep your personal information private.
【解析】
【详解】考查祈使句、短语、形容词及情态动词。表示“记住”用Keep in mind；表示“一定、必须”用must；表示“保密”用keep……private；表示“你个人信息”用your personal information。故翻译为Keep in mind that you must keep your personal information private.
57. 每年，人们都会举办各种各样的活动庆祝国庆节，从升旗仪式到烟花表演。 (range from… to, flag-raising ceremony, fireworks) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Every year, people celebrate National Day with a variety of activities, ranging from flag-raising ceremony to fireworks.
【解析】
【详解】考查短语、时态和现在分词。表示“每年”应用every year，句子陈述目前事实，应用一般现在时．主语“人们”译为people，谓语部分是“庆祝国庆节”，根据时间状语可知，用一般现在时，译为celebrate National Day，“通过各种各样的活动”译为with a variety of activities，介词短语作方式状语，“从升旗仪式到烟花表演”译为ranging from flag-raising ceremony to fireworks，现在分词作后置定语，相当于一个非限制性定语从句，修饰名词activities。故译为：Every year, people celebrate National Day with a variety of activities, ranging from flag-raising ceremony to fireworks.
58. 在山间远足时，他的腿被一条蛇咬了一口。（bite，用V-ing作状语）（汉译英）
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】While hiking in the mountains, he was bitten by a snake on his leg.
【解析】
【详解】考查现在分词作状语、动词、时态和语态被动语态。根据提示词bite以及“被一条蛇咬了一口”可知，句子应用一般过去时的被动语态。bite用于被动结构中，被咬的身体部位常用介词引出。此处指蛇咬到腿的表面，故用固定结构be bitten on the leg，所以这里“他的腿被一条蛇咬了一口”表达为“he was bitten by a snake on the leg”。表示“远足”的动词为hike，为延续性动词，故表示“在……时”可用while引导状语从句。当使用when或while引导时间状语从句时，可以省略与主句中主语相同的主语和系动词（此处为he was），hike与主语he是主动关系，因此“在山间远足时”应用“while+现在分词”作时间状语，可表达为“While hiking in the mountains”。故翻译为：While hiking in the mountains, he was bitten by a snake on the leg.
59. 父母应该让孩子的内心平静而充实。(soul) (汉译英)
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Parents should make their children’s soul peaceful and full.
【解析】
【详解】考查名词和形容词。“父母”可使用名词parents在句中作主语，“应该”可使用情态动词should，根据汉语提示可知，该句可使用固定结构“make+宾语+宾补”，“孩子们的内心”可使用名词短语their children’s soul，“平静而充实”可使用形容词短语peaceful and full在句中作宾补。故翻译为：Parents should make their children’s soul peaceful and full.
60. 像拥有相同的货币和国防一样，他们也使用同一面国旗，称为“英国国旗”。（过去分词做后置定语，as well as）(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________
【答案】They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defence.
【解析】
【详解】考查过去分词和固定短语。根据句意，该句应用一般现在时，表示客观事实。分析句意，“像拥有相同的货币和国防一样，他们也使用同一面国旗”可用固定短语as well as（和……一样、也）连接并列的谓语部分，译为They use the same flag as well as share the same currency and military defence；动词短语be known as表示“被认为是、被称作”，故“称为英国国旗”可译为be known as the Union Jack，根据题目要求和句意，可用过去分词known as...作后置定语，修饰the same flag。故全句译为They use the same flag, known as the Union Jack, as well as share the same currency and military defence。

【答案】The Quality I Value Most
Good morning, everyone! Qualities will determine what you can achieve.The quality which I think is of the most importance is the spirit of craftsmanship.
As we all know, craftsmanship is mainly made up of perseverance, integrity, diligence and expertise. Take the clock restoration master, Wang Jin, for example. With skillful hands and a modest heart, Mr. Wang spent his whole life restoring clocks dating back to hundreds of years, which not only helps preserve traditional skills but also brings the clocks back to life. Most importantly, his innovation and unremitting devotion ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time. Therefore, from my perspective, the spirit of craftsmanship, which includes devoting ourselves to work, sharpening our skills and overcoming difficulties with perseverance, is the necessary and significant quality for us human beings.
The spirit of craftsmanship is what has helped a great number of achievement makers, and it is well worth possessing.
Thank you for your attention.
